About: My farm is a beautiful sanctuary that we love to share with all furry friends! Whether they want to splash in the pool, run outside in a safe CLEAN secure area, or just have a nice snuggle in their indoor kennel or maybe even stretch out on the couch- just know they’ll be wagging to come back! I have 6 horses on the property, 13 chickens, 2 turkeys, 2 outdoor barn cats, and my Friendly Laid back dog Archie. I provide love & care which is more important than anything else. But of course- I follow parents rules! My entire life revolves around my farm and caring for all of my animals. I am on the property 24/7 as this is my full time job. And luckily it’s my passion. We have a beautiful fenced in pasture with lots of space to run. We are in a very private and rural area. We also have a pool- only if parents are OK and the Pup chooses to take a dip! Your Pup will always be supervised. If there are restrictions we will always abide by them. We also have dog crates if needed or requested and a beautiful inside area as well. Basically your Pup is gonna have free range and feel a home away from home.
“Barbra was an excellent host to my little Millie. She welcomed her into her home and treated her like a very special member of the family. Millie received excellent care and plenty of attention!”
“I would highly recommend Jen! I have basically never left my dog at home alone. I chose to have Jen watch him since I didn’t want to leave my dog for the first time at home for 8 hours or more. I had a good feeling about her. She was on time, ready, and happy to take my dog. In talking to Jen I could tell that she has experience with dogs and that she loves them! She reassured me when I left him with her and let me know what she had planned. Jen took pictures during their walk and at the park. She sent me pictures throughout the afternoon and evening. My dog was happy and not anxious at all. When I came to pick him up she was already downstairs with my dog and his things in hand. He was very happy. I will definitely book Jen again next time I’m in the D.C. area!”
“Rackeem is a true professional. He’s knowledgeable, compassionate, detail-oriented, responsive, and kind. We love being able to leave our dog with him, always knowing she’s getting the best care and attention when we’re away. He also always leaves us with great care tips and suggestions. Thank you, Rackeem!”
“Candace is wonderful! It was obvious she has an affection for dogs as soon as we, and our Boston, met her. She has lots of room for running and playing. She sent pictures several times showing how comfortable Pru was at her home. She took great care of her "houseguest". I have no reservations about recommending her, and we will definitely use her again when we are in the area.”
“Kari, Joseph, and their kids were phenomenal with our last-minute booking of our boxer, Peanut! Their home is beautiful and spacious in a lovely neighborhood. They’re communicative, provided a crate (which made our lives so much easier). They were flexible when we were a few minutes late to pickup and were totally understanding. We’ll absolutely book with them again!”
“Mike is so awesome! A popular sitter for a reason. I was able to communicate and receive pictures of my baby when traveling abroad from him. Mike is a great communicator. Him and his son has been taking well care of my pup. Thanks and looking forward to more boarding appointments!”
“Justin and Steph were amazing again!! They made my dog feel at home and she was a happy girl when I picked her up! I travel 45 min to have my dog stay at their place because they are just so good with her! They were great with communication and sending tons of updates and pictures!”
“Karen kept McDuff overnight. He had so much fun with Karen that when it was time to leave he was not sure he wanted to leave and he was sacked out on the couch for hours. Thank you Karen for taking good care of McDuff!”
“Jill and Thomas was amazing and so kind! They treated Kobie like their own and took great care of him. They were in constant with me throughout my trip and sent me many photos!! I would 100% board with them again.”
“We are so grateful for the wonderful care Nikkita provided for our dog, Pepe. She was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to ensure Pepe was comfortable and happy during his stay. She was also very flexible with our pick-up and drop-off times, which made things so much easier for us. We loved receiving regular updates and pictures, which helped us feel connected and at ease. It’s clear she truly cares about her furry guests, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!”
“You just can’t get someone more kind, caring and perfect for your dog. Cindy was so good with our dogs Apollo and Jupiter. So many years of rescuing and working with dogs. Her knowledge about their needs and behaviors is priceless. She made them and us feel so comfortable. Thank you Cindy.”
“It was our 2nd time dropping our dog off at Yvonne's Louis walked in like he owned the place and immediately started playing with her dog, Quinn. He knew where the toys were and felt right at home. I knew he'd have the best time!”
“Tabby came through for us when we were in a pinch with finding a place for our two boxers and we are forever thankful.. Our boxers certainly enjoyed their time in her big back yard.”
“Recently left my puppy with Thelma. I was able to go on vacation without concerns for my pups well being. She took extra precautions to keep him safe by putting up extra barricades around her fence to prevent him from escaping. My pup loved playing with her dogs. i definitely will have her watch my dog again.”
“I cannot recommend Sharon highly enough for anyone seeking a trustworthy and loving dog-sitter! From the moment we first met, Sharon’s warmth and genuine love for dogs were evident. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog with the utmost care and affection, look no further. Thank you, Sharon, for making our time away worry-free and for giving our dog such a wonderful experience!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I don’t know how to explain this except: Jess is basically Dodger’s second family now. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re looking for the type of sitter who treats your dog like FAMILY…like actual family…Jess is the one. I honestly don’t think Dodger realized he was being “boarded.” He thought he was on vacation with his new cousins, new uncles, and his new favorite person on earth (Dan 😆). From the minute we dropped him off, Jess was so reassuring and kind. She sent constant updates, pictures, and little stories that made my heart feel so much better. And not just “here’s your dog existing” pictures…NO. We’re talking: *Dodger cuddling her husband like they’ve been best buds for 10 years *Dodger snuggled up with her youngest like they were watching Saturday morning cartoons *Dodger and Tanner acting like long-lost brothers reunited *Dodger eating, relaxing, wagging his tail like a helicopter blade *Dodger getting a whole spa bath after rolling in the yard mud 😭💀 He even chewed through a Kong, which honestly deserves its own award. I warned her he was a super chewer, but I don’t think ANYONE was ready for him to destroy the “indestructible” toy. She just laughed and sent pictures like, “Welp, he’s having the time of his life.” 😂 The whole time she made sure I felt comfortable…even when my baby stole my phone and I panicked thinking I missed messages 😅 She was patient, flexible, and genuinely cared about him AND about us. Dodger came home happy, clean, tired, and FULL of love. His tail literally didn’t stop wagging the entire stay. And I’m pretty sure he thinks Jess’s house is his second home now…which I’m honestly fine with, because I know he’s safe and adored there. Jess and her whole family are wonderful, warm people. They treated Dodger like he belonged with them, and that’s all a dog mom could ever want. We will definitely be booking again (unless Dan steals him permanently 😂). Thank you, Jess, for loving our boy so well. He misses you all already! ❤️🐾 P.s thank you for being so accommodating and helpful with his bath, I loved getting to pick him up early and snuggle him with us the moment he came home🥹💕”
“Tango had a wonderful time, and was very happy with her stay with Dawn and her family. She fit right in as a member of their “pack” I was very pleased with the care she received, she had plenty of fun and stimulation too.”
About: I have owned dogs since childhood, ranging from 60lbs to 150lbs. I have walked dogs and dog sat since I was a teenager. I have 4 dogs of my own, 3 of which are XL, and always have a foster dog as well. I am very active and would be happy to provide your dog with extra activity like hiking or running if you want them to come along for an adventure. I have experience with pet therapy for the last 15 years as well. If you are boarding with me, during the work week, I come home for lunch so my pets don’t ever go more than five hours without a let out. I can accommodate early morning or later in the evening walks or let outs on weekdays. Weekends are very open for me! I am able to accommodate dog friendly dogs for boarding who can integrate into our pack. I have a male Cane Corso, a male Great Dane, a female Great Dane and a female Lab. They are all fixed and all dog and cat friendly. I can also accommodate non-dog friendly dogs as long as they are crate trained and comfortable in a room with busy toys and treats. They will still receive one on one attention and play time. For drop-ins, I am happy to utilize your yard for let outs and/or play time or very happy to walk your dog/s. For boarding, I have a fully fenced in portion of yard. I do not live in a neighborhood, so if your dog requires walks while boarding, I live 5 minutes from a park. I have cared for senior dogs as well as special needs dogs. I am very comfortable administering medications and sub q fluids. My one dog receives daily fluids. Pet care is essentially my whole life :) With 4 dogs, life revolves around them. Their needs are prioritized and whatever accommodations need to be made can be made. Happy to provide your dogs with walks, playing tug, mental stimulation or just snuggles. If your dog is active, I’d be thrilled to take them for hikes or runs.
“Jessica welcomed Bella with warm and open arms despite the last minute booing inquiry. She saved a Christmas vacation! She took exceptional care of Bella, sent picture and video updates and showed her much love. I high recommend Jessica to watch over your furry loved ones, and will definitely be reaching out to her again when Bella needs boarding. Thank you!”

“Stephanie took care of my cats in my home for 2 weeks. She went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend her to take care of your precious fur babies. She is wonderful.”
“Breanna was a fantastic sitter and took great care of my two cats while we were away. She was very personable during our meeting and took the extra time to send photos during her visits. I would highly recommend and will be using her again in the future.”
“Aleisha is so great! She took the time to meet our dogs ahead of time and get the lay of our house. She manages all 4 of our pups with ease! Our dogs range from puppy to senior, and she takes good care of all their individual needs. She is always on time and so flexible with our changing schedules. She communicates everything and takes the best pics during her visits! Book her now :)”
“Mike did a great job for us. We were away for an extended vacation. He kept us well informed about our cats but also things at our home. A neighbor left mail on our porch and an outdoor ornament blew off our house. He notified us on both issues. The ornaments were brought in and he checked our community mailbox to confirm our mail was being held by USPS. During our vacation we received a boil water notice; We informed Mike and he brought bottled water for our pets. It’s the second time we used him and I’m sure we will be using his services again.”
About: As a dedicated pet caregiver, I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and energy levels. I currently care for my own three dogs—a 5-year-old Rottweiler, Koda, a 1-year-old Shepherd/Pit mix, Gus, and an 8-year-old English Bulldog, Daisy—each with their own unique needs and personalities. From high-energy walks to gentle care for senior dogs, I’m well-versed in providing attentive, reliable, and loving support. I manage daily routines including feeding, bathroom breaks, and exercise, and I understand the importance of consistency and patience in pet care. My experience makes me confident in handling a wide range of canine behaviors and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, as I’m passionate about caring for animals outside of my full-time job. I work weekdays from 8 AM to 3 PM, which allows me to be available for evening visits during the week and fully available on weekends.

Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and low-stress environment. In my home, pets are treated like family—with plenty of affection, structured routines, and supervised play. I ensure regular feeding, bathroom breaks, and exercise, tailored to each pet’s needs. In a client’s home, I respectfully follow their established routines to help pets feel secure in their familiar surroundings. I’m attentive to each animal’s behavior and comfort, and I’m always focused on providing consistent, reliable care.

I have 2 dogs that are extremely well behaved and friendly. They are both crate trained and love to play in the fenced in backyard.
“Rebecca took great care of our dog. She was very dependable and on time even in poor weather conditions. Our dog was very comfortable with her. We would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“I had to leave a situation fast and needed somewhere safe for my two cats. Rackeem was quick to answer and happy to help even when I gave VERY uncertain ETAs. My cats were well cared for. I highly recommend this sitter who was gentle, kind, knowledgeable and gave updates throughout my cats’ stay.”

“Lauren did an amazing job with Barkley ! She was perfect in all facets of her visit. Barkley was very comfortable having Lauren looking after him. I would recommend her any time !!”
“Tre is on time and communicates all about the visit. He is extremely professional and easy to work with. Plus my dog did not bark at him!!! While my Bella has fears and anxiety issues, he found ways to work with her. We will definitely use him again!”

He had his hands full with my crew and he managed to put up with all of their quirky personalities and he agreed to come back! I am already looking forward to my next getaway knowing my babies will be well cared for.”
“Cameryn was great! She watched my 2 kitties while I was away and they loved seeing her. She stopped by each day, fed lots of treats, and sent me pictures each time. It’s nice to know I can trust someone with my boys when I go away. Thank you Cameryn!”
“Lillian was awesome looking after our old cat. I told her our cat was old and small and would probably hide for all the visits. But she just loved Lillian! Came out each time, sat in her lap and got lots of ear rubs. Litter and food areas were cleaned well also. Thanks!”

About: I’ve have been a dog owner all throughout my life. I currently have a golden retriever that is three year old named Steve. I know level 1 and level 2 dog training techniques.

“Reid was great. Blu didn’t want to seem to leave once it was time to go home. He slept good that night and even slept in the next morning! If you have a needy dog Reid is the sitter for you! Blu just loves human attention and he received lots of attention and play time.”
“Liza had a great time with Jen!! Jen is really caring and was really attentive to put Liza at ease, not always a simple task as Liza has separation anxiety. Jen was very responsive, took a bunch of pictures, and sent me lots of updates. I really appreciated it and highly recommend her!”

About: I own It takes a village animal rescue, though I am taking a 2 year break, I have had 451 dogs come through my rescue in the last 10 years. I can help with house training, and basic puppy skills. I have probably had about 100 plus puppies in the last 10 years. I have a facebook account for the rescue and you can see all that My Volunteers and I have done over the years. Dogs must be neutered or spayed. Pet care has been a way of life for me for the last 10 years, I own an animal rescue, but am taking a 2 year hiatus, but miss haveing dogs around all day. I am home 90% of the time so I am there to let dogs out who might not be potty trained or sometimes it is just for company, laying on the couch watching TV and getting rubbed. I have a fenced in yard with lots of room to roam. I also have Mr Donovan, 110 pound hound mix that lost his 2 playmates in the last 2 months, so he would love having anotherfriend to hang/ play with.
“Justin and Stephanie were amazing with Charlie. From the moment I met Justin I knew I had nothing to worry about! I received many pictures and plenty of updates even though he was only there for one day. Communication was excellent and thorough. I really appreciated how kind and considerate they were of my highly anxious sensitive pup and took great care to make him comfortable! Thanks again!”
About: We got our first pup in 2011. All 3 dogs we’ve owned have been since they were puppies. We’ve taken care of pups who require shots and pills. We treat pups in our house like family members. My husband and I have off weekends. My husband works from home so dogs get let out frequently. I’m a high school teacher so I also have summers off. We’re happy to follow your routines so they feel at home. I have 2 friendly dogs who love kids & pups. We just ask that your pup is friendly with kids and dogs, and is comfortable being crated for short periods of time, if needed.
“As a new client, I’ve had a really positive experience so far with Pearl. From the beginning, she has been professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with. Even in a short time, my dog seems relaxed and well cared for after spending time with her. Overall, I’m very pleased with the care she’s had provided and would definitely recommend her to others Sylvia A”
“Amrita was amazing with Cleo. Cleo was calm and enjoyed her time. Amrita sent plenty of pics of Cleo which served to keep me calm so I could enjoy my time away. :-) Amrita also was incredibly responsive both before during and after the booking.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had one of my own. Caring for dogs comes naturally to me, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I also have experience helping at a dog kennel, where I’ve assisted with bathing, feeding, supervising playtime, and making sure the dogs are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and strive to provide patient, loving care that helps them feel safe and at home. Pet care is my full-time job, so I’m home throughout the day caring for dogs and running our grooming business located behind our house. I do leave briefly in the morning and again in the afternoon to care for my horse, but I’m otherwise home and available to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and supervision. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, exercise, and enjoy time outside. Every dog that stays with me is treated like one of my own—with plenty of love, attention, patience, and care. I strive to provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment so both you and your pet can feel at ease while you’re apart.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life from small pets to large dogs and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I grew up helping friends and neighbors with their pets, which gave me a solid foundation in handling dogs of all sizes and personalities.

I also have a 9 year old cat named Levi, who brings a calm, loving balance to our home.

I’m happy to accommodate special routines or preferences! I’m a full-time nursing student with plenty of free time during the day, so I’m great for helping out while you’re at work. I know how important it is for pets to get attention and exercise in the middle of those long days. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, or just some company to keep your animals happy and relaxed on your busy days. I have empathy for those who having to leave their animals so safety is a top priority for me when pet sitting. I will always use a leash when on walks and at home if there is no fenced in yard available. Also would like to know if the pet has any special instructions and their likes/ dislikes.

“Christine does a phenomenal job caring for our puppy while we are at work. She responds immediately, takes a bunch of pics for us, and always ensures he is comfortable before leaving. Christine always makes sure to meet our specific needs and is very attentive with Arlo. We are so thankful to have such a reliable and kind person to assist us when needed.”
About: Dog owners and their dogs will love many things about the care that I provide. First, I have always shown love and care to every dog that I have met and all these dogs have responded in a positive manner. Second, I believe in a healthy lifestyle for my dogs (as well as myself, haha) and take my dogs for walks everyday, and feeding them their recommended portion of dog food with minimal people food. Third, keeping my dogs on a daily routine helps tremendously as well as their owners. Growing up I have had a Schnauzer (Mickey), Springer Spaniel (Snickers), Springer Spaniel (Princess), two box turtles (Fred and Wilma), and currently own two Puggles (Liberty & Bell). All the dogs I have trained to not go to the bathroom in the house, and many tricks. I work full-time (7am-330pm) and I am available Monday-Friday before 7am and after 330pm.

About: Growing up, my family has always had pets whether they were dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, hermit crabs or fish. This inspired me to receive my Associates degree in Veterinary Technology in 2024 at Del Tech then sit for and pass the VTNE to become an LVT (Licensed Veterinary Technician). I love animals dearly and would be happy to care for your pets during the day when their beloved ones are away from the house. I will care for your pet(s) as if they were my own! Whether we go for a walk together, run around the yard, give them a quick meal or just provide general companionship, I look forward to meeting your furbabies! I do have a full time job as a veterinary technician which leaves me unavailable every Monday and Friday but I do have availability other days of the week so be sure to send in a request so I can review it! I aim to be transparent and flexible with all customers about my availability. While at your home, I will watch your pets carefully to assure they are being safe while getting to spend time outside or just receiving some companionship. I will be sure to fill all food and water bowls (if applicable) before I leave to ensure your pets have access to basic needs.
About: I’m very caring, fun, and trustworthy. I spend a lot of time at home with animals and have volunteered at local rescues. I currently work as a Para professional in Dover, a Private Personal Trainer in the tri-state area, and a server in Middletown, I have my Bachelors Degree in Kinesiology and am currently enrolled at my local university to get my Masters degree in Counseling. I own 3 dogs and 1 cat that I love very much! I’ve raised dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles my entire life and have experienced all different types of care. My dogs are Pitbull mixes and an American Bully who love to have fun just like me. Being safe, outside, and active are things I take pride in because builds a bond and a good time. I love meeting new people and pets, so I’m excited to help take care of your FURever friends:) I do work part-time and go to school online but always have time for furry friends. I’m able to provide care at minimum every 6-8 hours days I work. During our meet and greet I like to get as much info about your pets daily routine. My philosophy is “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” so I like to be as consistent as possible.
About: I have 6 years of experience taking care of 4 cats and my dog!! I can feed, give water, take walks, scoop boxes, and entertain with toys. I am also excellent with anxious pets and those who need a little extra care and love. I have a gentle voice and will always try to be aware of your pets' comfort level before approaching. I am currently in college, so I go to class various times during the week! Because of this, I may need to adjust arrival times depending on my class schedule and what days you need me for. This also means that I am good for vacations and other short-term jobs. I will work hard to provide a safe environment for all animals in accordance with guidelines set by my clients. For dogs, I prefer a fenced in yard, but will consider leashed walks depending on the size of your dog.
About: I’ve spent years caring for and training dogs, including raising and training four Australian Cattle Dogs—a breed known for its intelligence and high energy. Through that experience, I’ve learned how to read canine body language, reinforce good behaviors, and confidently handle dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I’ve also walked dogs for several of my mom’s clients throughout the Hockessin and Wilmington area. My focus is on providing safe, reliable, and personalized care while treating every dog as if they were my own. I am home full-time, which allows me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout the day. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive plenty of potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment, and affection. Being home full-time also allows me to closely monitor each dog’s well-being, maintain their routine, and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your dog will be cared for like one of my own in a safe, loving home environment. I have a fully fenced 0.6-acre yard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore under supervision. They’ll also have the companionship of my three friendly, well-socialized dogs if they enjoy being around other dogs. Throughout the day, your pet will receive plenty of exercise, potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, and affection. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions, so they feel comfortable, happy, and at home while you’re away.
About: I have owned pets all my life and am an experienced pet owner, I’ve cared for pets with different personalities, routines, energy level and age ranges. I’m comfortable with long walks, drop in visits, feeding, medication administration, playtime, enrichment and following detailed instructions. I am also attentive, reliable and communicative and will always treat your pet and home with care and respect. I’m currently have a flexible schedule and offer drop in visits, dog walking and house sitting. I am available throughout the week and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal routine. As a pet owner I also understand communication and consistency matters, so I aim to be punctual, as communicative as possible and reliable. For walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, my goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I follow feeding instructions, routines, medication schedules, and activity preferences closely. I also pay attention to behavior, energy levels, and comfort cues and will always communicate any concerns. I treat clients homes with care and respect and will provide updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.

About: My farm is a beautiful sanctuary that we love to share with all furry friends! Whether they want to splash in the pool, run outside in a safe CLEAN secure area, or just have a nice snuggle in their indoor kennel or maybe even stretch out on the couch- just know they’ll be wagging to come back! I have 6 horses on the property, 13 chickens, 2 turkeys, 2 outdoor barn cats, and my Friendly Laid back dog Archie. I provide love & care which is more important than anything else. But of course- I follow parents rules! My entire life revolves around my farm and caring for all of my animals. I am on the property 24/7 as this is my full time job. And luckily it’s my passion. We have a beautiful fenced in pasture with lots of space to run. We are in a very private and rural area. We also have a pool- only if parents are OK and the Pup chooses to take a dip! Your Pup will always be supervised. If there are restrictions we will always abide by them. We also have dog crates if needed or requested and a beautiful inside area as well. Basically your Pup is gonna have free range and feel a home away from home.
“I would highly recommend Jen! I have basically never left my dog at home alone. I chose to have Jen watch him since I didn’t want to leave my dog for the first time at home for 8 hours or more. I had a good feeling about her. She was on time, ready, and happy to take my dog. In talking to Jen I could tell that she has experience with dogs and that she loves them! She reassured me when I left him with her and let me know what she had planned. Jen took pictures during their walk and at the park. She sent me pictures throughout the afternoon and evening. My dog was happy and not anxious at all. When I came to pick him up she was already downstairs with my dog and his things in hand. He was very happy. I will definitely book Jen again next time I’m in the D.C. area!”
“Rackeem is a true professional. He’s knowledgeable, compassionate, detail-oriented, responsive, and kind. We love being able to leave our dog with him, always knowing she’s getting the best care and attention when we’re away. He also always leaves us with great care tips and suggestions. Thank you, Rackeem!”
“Kari, Joseph, and their kids were phenomenal with our last-minute booking of our boxer, Peanut! Their home is beautiful and spacious in a lovely neighborhood. They’re communicative, provided a crate (which made our lives so much easier). They were flexible when we were a few minutes late to pickup and were totally understanding. We’ll absolutely book with them again!”
“Mike is so awesome! A popular sitter for a reason. I was able to communicate and receive pictures of my baby when traveling abroad from him. Mike is a great communicator. Him and his son has been taking well care of my pup. Thanks and looking forward to more boarding appointments!”
“Justin and Steph were amazing again!! They made my dog feel at home and she was a happy girl when I picked her up! I travel 45 min to have my dog stay at their place because they are just so good with her! They were great with communication and sending tons of updates and pictures!”
“Karen kept McDuff overnight. He had so much fun with Karen that when it was time to leave he was not sure he wanted to leave and he was sacked out on the couch for hours. Thank you Karen for taking good care of McDuff!”
“Jill and Thomas was amazing and so kind! They treated Kobie like their own and took great care of him. They were in constant with me throughout my trip and sent me many photos!! I would 100% board with them again.”
“You just can’t get someone more kind, caring and perfect for your dog. Cindy was so good with our dogs Apollo and Jupiter. So many years of rescuing and working with dogs. Her knowledge about their needs and behaviors is priceless. She made them and us feel so comfortable. Thank you Cindy.”
“It was our 2nd time dropping our dog off at Yvonne's Louis walked in like he owned the place and immediately started playing with her dog, Quinn. He knew where the toys were and felt right at home. I knew he'd have the best time!”
“Tabby came through for us when we were in a pinch with finding a place for our two boxers and we are forever thankful.. Our boxers certainly enjoyed their time in her big back yard.”
“I cannot recommend Sharon highly enough for anyone seeking a trustworthy and loving dog-sitter! From the moment we first met, Sharon’s warmth and genuine love for dogs were evident. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog with the utmost care and affection, look no further. Thank you, Sharon, for making our time away worry-free and for giving our dog such a wonderful experience!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I don’t know how to explain this except: Jess is basically Dodger’s second family now. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you’re looking for the type of sitter who treats your dog like FAMILY…like actual family…Jess is the one. I honestly don’t think Dodger realized he was being “boarded.” He thought he was on vacation with his new cousins, new uncles, and his new favorite person on earth (Dan 😆). From the minute we dropped him off, Jess was so reassuring and kind. She sent constant updates, pictures, and little stories that made my heart feel so much better. And not just “here’s your dog existing” pictures…NO. We’re talking: *Dodger cuddling her husband like they’ve been best buds for 10 years *Dodger snuggled up with her youngest like they were watching Saturday morning cartoons *Dodger and Tanner acting like long-lost brothers reunited *Dodger eating, relaxing, wagging his tail like a helicopter blade *Dodger getting a whole spa bath after rolling in the yard mud 😭💀 He even chewed through a Kong, which honestly deserves its own award. I warned her he was a super chewer, but I don’t think ANYONE was ready for him to destroy the “indestructible” toy. She just laughed and sent pictures like, “Welp, he’s having the time of his life.” 😂 The whole time she made sure I felt comfortable…even when my baby stole my phone and I panicked thinking I missed messages 😅 She was patient, flexible, and genuinely cared about him AND about us. Dodger came home happy, clean, tired, and FULL of love. His tail literally didn’t stop wagging the entire stay. And I’m pretty sure he thinks Jess’s house is his second home now…which I’m honestly fine with, because I know he’s safe and adored there. Jess and her whole family are wonderful, warm people. They treated Dodger like he belonged with them, and that’s all a dog mom could ever want. We will definitely be booking again (unless Dan steals him permanently 😂). Thank you, Jess, for loving our boy so well. He misses you all already! ❤️🐾 P.s thank you for being so accommodating and helpful with his bath, I loved getting to pick him up early and snuggle him with us the moment he came home🥹💕”
“Tango had a wonderful time, and was very happy with her stay with Dawn and her family. She fit right in as a member of their “pack” I was very pleased with the care she received, she had plenty of fun and stimulation too.”
About: I have owned dogs since childhood, ranging from 60lbs to 150lbs. I have walked dogs and dog sat since I was a teenager. I have 4 dogs of my own, 3 of which are XL, and always have a foster dog as well. I am very active and would be happy to provide your dog with extra activity like hiking or running if you want them to come along for an adventure. I have experience with pet therapy for the last 15 years as well. If you are boarding with me, during the work week, I come home for lunch so my pets don’t ever go more than five hours without a let out. I can accommodate early morning or later in the evening walks or let outs on weekdays. Weekends are very open for me! I am able to accommodate dog friendly dogs for boarding who can integrate into our pack. I have a male Cane Corso, a male Great Dane, a female Great Dane and a female Lab. They are all fixed and all dog and cat friendly. I can also accommodate non-dog friendly dogs as long as they are crate trained and comfortable in a room with busy toys and treats. They will still receive one on one attention and play time. For drop-ins, I am happy to utilize your yard for let outs and/or play time or very happy to walk your dog/s. For boarding, I have a fully fenced in portion of yard. I do not live in a neighborhood, so if your dog requires walks while boarding, I live 5 minutes from a park. I have cared for senior dogs as well as special needs dogs. I am very comfortable administering medications and sub q fluids. My one dog receives daily fluids. Pet care is essentially my whole life :) With 4 dogs, life revolves around them. Their needs are prioritized and whatever accommodations need to be made can be made. Happy to provide your dogs with walks, playing tug, mental stimulation or just snuggles. If your dog is active, I’d be thrilled to take them for hikes or runs.
“Jessica welcomed Bella with warm and open arms despite the last minute booing inquiry. She saved a Christmas vacation! She took exceptional care of Bella, sent picture and video updates and showed her much love. I high recommend Jessica to watch over your furry loved ones, and will definitely be reaching out to her again when Bella needs boarding. Thank you!”
“Our pup came home a happy guy. Pearl sent pics and told us Buster was doing fine. This let me enjoy my time away and feel comfortable with B in her care. Will definitely call Pearl for our next time away. Eileen”
“Our dog Cooper seemed so happy during his overnight boarding. He normally doesn’t eat at first when being boarded but he was enjoying a treat and eating his breakfast within moments of being dropped off. We received thoughtful updates and photos and Cooper was relaxed, comfortable and had settled in so quickly. Fantastic communication and quick responses made our trip stress free; we knew our dog was in good hands!”
“Jen took very good care of my dog and I will definitely use her again to sit. She was very nice and communicated with me from the 1st meet-up and up until I picked Kobe up. Thanks again Jen”
“Lucky had a great time with Max and Thomas. He enjoyed playing in the backyard and all the pets. Thank you and I'll definitely rebook again. I appreciate the prompt replies to my texts.”
